Mad Dog 357 Ghost Hot Sauce Review

It’s hard to ignore a bottle of hot sauce with an intense hologram on its label. It’s even harder to over look it once your read the text (text that is set over silver, reflective skulls I might add) on the side of the bottle and its sweet nothings become imprinted in your brain: “Ever seen a ghost? One taste of Mad Dog 357 Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce and you will – your own!” This ghost pepper edition boasts a full, hearty flavor that tastes of pine and has a sweet smell that doesn’t overpower your dining experience. After tentatively dousing a baked sweet potato in the thick, syrupy sauce, my first coated bite revealed a serving of heat that was both immediate and all encompassing in flavor. The sweet taste filled my mouth, and my dinner date deemed the sauce simply “physically hot” in its nature. The sauce itself is an opaque liquid that pours smoothly and would make a solid addition to any secret family chili recipe or mixed into the meat filling for a batch of Sloppy Joes.

Bottom line: Mad Dog 357 Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce brings something to the table besides just spice. While I didn’t find this Mad Dog creation all that scary, you can bet that I’d be willing to come back from beyond the grave and haunt my own mother to satisfy my 357 fix.
